Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2014001778A1] A method and device for increasing microcirculation in the lower limb are described. The device includes a means for immobilising the limb, for example a plaster cast, and an electrical stimulation device, which applies electrical stimulation to opposed leg muscles such that antagonistic and agonistic muscle groups contract near simultaneously, resulting in near isometric contraction. The combination of this contraction and the leg restraint have been found to markedly increase blood circulation and in particular microcirculation in the limb.
